Applications open for Gwent High Sheriff Community Fund

Community groups, voluntary organisations or charities in Gwent can apply for grants of up to £5000 from the Gwent High Sheriff Community Fund for projects that support children and young people, and help reduce crime and improve safety in their community.

Successful applicants will be decided at a participatory grant making event in March 2025 which allows local people to decide which initiatives would best address local issues.

The office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent makes an annual contribution to the fund.

Police and Crime Commissioner Jane Mudd said: “This year I am proud to be contributing £65,000 towards the Gwent High Sheriff Community Fund to help ensure that grassroots community groups can access essential funding to support young people in their area.

“If your group is running a project that is creating positive opportunities for children and young people, offering them an alternative to becoming involved in crime and antisocial behaviour, then I would urge you to apply and together we can make a difference.”
